Monday, December 29 2008




Woke up around 2pm. Eat (breakfast) and moved some recyclables from the truck into the garage and after drove the truck to a near gasoline station and added air to the tires, specially the one in the front right. It had been a bit to flat for two days but no one else in the family seemed to notice except for me. It be nice to have our own powerful pump but its really something we don't need. Last time the tires on the other family car were in need of air, I used the air pump that I bought for my bicycle and almost ended up fucking it up. I guess all that friction doesn't do good since the tube of the pump was very hot to the touch and made the same noise that hot metal makes when it come in contact with water.

The reason I woke up so late was because I had a long day yesterday and didn't to to sleep until late since I we had company at our house and decided to sleep till 2 in the morning.

Yesterday was a very tiring day for me at work. It started out very good but towards the end I was very tired, my feet hurt and I was in great need of an energy drink. I made the mistake of only taking two small burritos to eat. Sure I could have bought something where I work at but that be like working for free in my opinion. They do give up a %25 discount but since I don't depend on my parents for money and only have my money to spend, I tend to be on a very short budget. I ended up working for 11 hours but could have worked more if I had more energy.

Right now I'm on winter vacation but it really doesn't feel like a vacation at all. Times like this I wish I lived in a big city like Tokyo where there always seems to be something going on. To me this so called vacation fells more like a be-bored-all-day kind of thing. Specially since its winter and the number of hours, specially since I've been waking up late, are very limited. Most likely its because I don't know how to to have fun and don't use my hours wisely. I'm sure of it. And I need to wake up very early in the day so I can have the most hours starting from sunrise. I did see it this morning but I went right back to sleep. (What bad habits I have.)

It be nice to have a car so I could just disappear for a week or so and come back from my little adventure I would have had.

Its is nice, though, to be outside and to be writing this in the evening sunset and with a nice cold chill in the air. The bad things is that it will get too cold for me to be outside as it becomes dusk and I'll have to move to the comfort on my residency. It is also nice to have the company of friends since been inside and having no interactions is just dull.

With the year almost over, my friends and I are already making plans for next year. That is something I never thought about until recently. How wonderful it is to think ahead in to the future. Those plans include going to the beach, going to Six Flags Magic Mountain and Anime Expo 2009 along with other things. Who knows what 2009 will bring forth to us. Only time will tell.

A Saturday on the Road

I spend most of my last Saturday on the road. We went to drop of a friend who was going to catch a flight to Mexico City from Mexicali, BC, Mexico on Sunday and at the same time we got to see my aunt who we hadn't seen in person for more than 9 years. It wasn't as a big reunion as I had expected since the internet kind of gets rid of the isolation people can get when they are far away from each other for very long periods of time. By that I mean, with the internet you can keep in touch with each other by email, blogging, chatting, video chatting. etc and since we had seen my aunt while we talked via video chatting, I kind of new what I was expecting when I saw her for the first time in a long time. Of course, I took a lot of new pictures on my little trip here and there and I decided to experiment with Flickr since I like the way it it looks better than Photobucket. I'm not saying that I don't like Photobucket (I've used it for some time), Its just that Flickr seems more...( How should I put this?)... "clean." With that said here is a link to my Flickr ablums.

Monday December 1, 2008

I can't believe December is already here. WOW, where has the year gone? I can say that I have at least two high lights this year. The first one been when me, my brother, and my friend Arthur went to Los Angeles for the 2008 Anime Expo. I won't forget that for any time soon. Then second would be me going with a few friends to Morro Bay. First time that has happen in my, ahem... boring life. Well, with that said, I guess my life can only get better and more exciting. I should probably put "getting a girlfriend" in the top of my list for 2009 and "get another job" for second and third "work harder at school."

Now that I think about it, school just doesn't seem the same anymore. During my high school years it was all lay out for me. My counselor would tell me what to take for each semester and from that I guess they expect us to decide what we wanted to do after we graduated. Well, at that time I didn't know what to do. I guess I should have gone with the music program in COS right after I graduated then maybe right now I would have had accomplished something. But that is not the case, I decided to take a year off which was a total waste. No school, no job. I'm surprised I didn't take my life. Why should I have gone into music right away you ask? Well, ever since I was in the fifth grade I started playing the cello, and by accident if may add. But I loved that instrument. I gave it my all and even took private lessons thanks to my wonderful music teacher in middle school. And if it wasn't for her I don't think I would have gotten so good at the instrument. She suggested for me to take the lessons and I did and learned for my private teacher, Dr. Walden. Now, though, I feel as if I have abandoned music since I don't fell the motivation for it and because I quit the music program so abruptly the second semester. I should have had ask for help and then I wouldn't be like I am right now. Its was around the second semester that I got into my head that I was going to move to my home country but it never happen when the time came. It was the money that was holding me back. The main reason would be, well, I'm still trying to figure that out.

Maybe its because I want to go to Japan so bad and learn the language there. But then, I have no guarantee I could travel there even if I was in my home country. Sure I could get the passport but then where would I get the money to pay for the travel there? Specially since people hardly make any money working in Mexico. But who am I to judge a country to where I haven't to a long time. I won't know how bad it is until I experience it. Who knows, I could probably make more money since my English is good but then my Spanish isn't the best. That's why I wish I had a few hundred -thousand dollars and I would be on my way. Even with fifty-thousand dollars I could start my new journey. The only thing that is stopping me from doing what I want is that, the lack of money. Living in the same city for so many years and not getting anywhere gives me those toughs.

More on this later
